The first is "Python for Cheminformatics." It's designed
for computational chemists who want to become more
effective in writing their research software. It is a
hands-on course, with exercises based on real-world
problems in cheminformatics. I teach using OpenEye's
OEChem and the main ideas will work for any toolkit.

If you know some programming (what's a function?) and
some cheminformatics (what's a SMILES string?) then you
have the right background. And if you know more than
that, I have more advanced exercises for you.

The second course is "Web Application Development with
Django." It's meant for people who want to write
internal web applications for cheminformatics. By the
end of three days you will have written a molecular
descriptor calculator and PubChem search tool PubChem,
generated HTML, worked with databases, learned a bit
about CSS, and used a bit of jQuery.

You should know some Python coming into the course. If
you don't, take the "Python for Cheminformatics" course.

These courses are open to anyone, with a limit of 8 students per
course. If you attend both courses you will get a discount. You can
register directly, or if you have questions, email me at
training-discard-me@dalkescientific.com .

In-house training

I am also available for in-house training giving either these courses
or shortened versions of them. I have a one day version of the Python
course which I've given many times.

I am based in Gothenburg, Sweden which is convenient for
Europeans. For American companies, I will be in the US from the end of
February to mid-March and can be available:

2 February - 4 March (Boston or New Jersey/East Coast)

14-25 March (San Francisco or San Diego/West Coast)

If you're based elsewhere then let me know and we can work something
out.
